Real Madrid’s Rodrygo Goes is expected to miss the game against AC Milan

Real Madrid will be without Rodrygo for some time. The injury sustained during the remarkable comeback against Borussia Dortmund at the Bernabeu, which ended 5-2, prompted the Spanish club to order medical tests to assess the extent of the Brazilian’s physical problem: a muscle injury to his right thigh muscle.

This is bad news for Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, as the 2001-born star will miss not only the Clasico against Barcelona, ​​but also the games against Valencia and Milan on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

The verdict. Dr. González confirmed Rodrygo’s unavailability and explained that the injury could keep him out of action for three to four weeks: “The injury affects the hamstring of his right leg. When Rodrygo watched the footage, he immediately asked for a replacement after feeling the sharp pain, clearly indicating a serious injury. It is important to note that the hamstrings are fully involved in movements such as acceleration, speed and braking, in both eccentric and concentric contractions, meaning the risk of injury is much higher compared to other muscle groups. Additionally, recovery times are longer, with the added complication that setbacks are more common due to the acceleration of the recovery process. Therefore, I assume that Rodrygo will be out of action for at least three to four weeks.” as reported by AS and forwarded via News from Milan.
